Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The White Tower of Thessaloniki (Greek: Λευκός Πύργος Lefkós Pýrgos; Turkish: Beyaz Kule; Ladino: Kuli Blanka) is a monument and museum on the waterfront of the city of Thessaloniki, capital of the region of Macedonia in northern Greece. The present tower replaced an old Byzantine fortification, known to have been mentioned around the 12th century, that the Ottoman Empire reconstructed to fortify the city's fortress some time after Sultan Murad II captured Thessaloniki in 1430. During the period of Ottoman rule, the tower became a notorious prison and the scene of numerous mass executions, most famously of the Janissaries who revolted during the reign of Mahmud II.

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Ο Λευκός Πύργος της Θεσσαλονίκης, είναι οχυρωματικό έργο οθωμανικής κατασκευής του 15ου αιώνα (χτίστηκε πιθανόν μεταξύ 1450-70). Σήμερα θεωρείται χαρακτηριστικό μνημείο της Θεσσαλονίκης και είναι ό,τι έχει σωθεί από την κατεδαφισμένη οθωμανική οχύρωση της πόλης. Η σημερινή μορφή του πύργου αντικατέστησε βυζαντινή οχύρωση του 12ου αιώνα για να χρησιμοποιηθεί στη συνέχεια ως κατάλυμα φρουράς Γενιτσάρων και ως φυλακή θανατοποινιτών. Σήμερα λειτουργεί ως μουσείο και είναι ένα από τα πιο γνωστά κτίσματα-σύμβολα πόλεων στην Ελλάδα. Έχει 6 ορόφους, 34 μέτρα ύψος και 70 μέτρα περίμετρο.Ο Λευκός Πύργος έχει θέα την παραλία της Θεσσαλονίκης.

La Tour blanche (en grec moderne : Λευκός Πύργος / Lefkós Pýrgos, turc : Beyaz Kule) est un monument de Thessalonique, situé sur le front de mer et transformé en musée. La tour actuelle remplace une ancienne fortification byzantine déjà citée au XII^e siècle et reconstruite par les Ottomans pour renforcer le fort de la ville.

Elle est adoptée comme le symbole de la ville.
